The cases involving Ngozi, 22, and Kibo, 23, at the 80-acre zoological garden are the first confirmed ones among the animals worldwide, according to the National Veterinary Services Laboratories.

The spotted hyenas are experiencing mild symptoms — including slight lethargy, nasal discharge and some coughing — but their energy levels are normal, according to the zoo.

How could they tell? Their usually insane laughter replaced with a mild chuckle?

The ‘unvaxxed’ MUST BE STOPPED! THEY cannot visit the zoo, or ANYWHERE ELSE until Covid, OR THEY, is eradicated!

Put them in a room for week with food or water, then release a baby mouse for them to fight over...

It’ll work itself out...

Assuming they didn’t get all the boosters, of course they’re laughing, with a 99.998% survival rate, they should be. Besides, I’ve never seen a fat hyena, so they should be fine.
